Vanderbilt University: Three VLS Students Pursue Legal Careers Focusing on Civil Rights as Marshall-Motley Scholars
“Three recipients of the Marshall-Motley Scholars Program, which provides full tuition, room, board and incidentals for students committed to pursuing careers in civil rights law, are preparing for practice in the public interest at Vanderbilt Law School as members of the Classes of 2024 and 2025.
The Marshall-Motley Scholars Program, developed by the Legal Defense Fund, aims to eliminate financial barriers for law students who seek to devote their careers to civil rights and racial justice advocacy by fully covering the cost of law school and attendant expenses. LDF created the program to educate a new generation of civil rights lawyers and enable them to pursue careers as civil rights advocates in the South, unencumbered by student debt.”
